New factory / 18 squares

Post by WilliamMGary »

I keep thinking about this so I'm going to put it out for a discussion. A new type of factory that has 18 squares. When you go to the factory you still will have the three rows of 3 but then on the right hand side there would be an arrow, you click the arrow and it gives you another row of 3 rows of 3 squares.

This has been discussed and according to David the developers are working on a feature to add "floors" of the 9 box squares that would be switched too based on a page button. However, David said it would be limited to only retail buildings. A reason for not including factories wasn't given.

This all happen back in November and no updates have been made.

I still believe the biggest thing holding the game back is the 9 square limit per firm. This needs to be expanded to help the player manage the business and to make the game more realistic. Especially considering all of the new products added by mods and the number of AI players now possible.

It should be supported throughout the game. The only problem I forsee is not being able to connect the boxes on the first 9 page to the second because that would just be awkward lol.

I want them to release a upgrade pack with new firm designs I love the new warehouses. They graphic improvements they should charg like $2.99. This game is by far my FAVORITE I'm more than willing to pay for anything that enhances the game play. Can't wait to start and play another company for 2 years lol.

FYI, the dev team is still working on this feature. It is quite complicated and thus takes time.
